The Fripp family of South Carolina

Notes

Sewanee "Sue" Taliaferro Parker

"Sue" is thought to be one of the last members of the Fripp family to see the original land grant.
A note from historian, William Edward Fripp, of Walterboro, SC, records that "Mrs. Cuthbert B. Fripp, aged 90 in 1963, said she had seen the Grant, then in the possession of Mr. William Elliott, Esq., of Atlanta, Georgia". William noted that he tried to reacquire the land grant in the early 1960's, but the gentleman, thought to be an attorney/art collector, did not wish to sell it.

Richard Bacot Fripp

NOTE: Nellie Woodson married a Richard B. Fripp, but I have not yet proved it was this Richard.

Warren Woodson and the Maywood Colony
by Ellen Hultgren - 1985

Warren N. Woodson was born on September 2, 1863, near Sacramento. As a young boy, his family moved near Fresno. From that time on he was self supporting and also helped provide for his mother, brother and two sisters. He picked acorns for 10 cents a grain sack, herded sheep, and tended a band of hogs for five months. He had to drop out of school after the fourth grade, but he taught himself all of the three R's and much more by constant reading in his spare time.His mother, Margaret Hatton Woodson, decided the family should move to Red Bluff to be with her parents. There Warren washed dishes for 75 cents a day at the Tremont Hotel and waited on tables. He studied voraciously in his spare time. In 1879 he worked for the Sierra Lumber Company, and through his initiative and hard work, he rose to become bookkeeper for the mill. He then became clerk for the general store of Clark and Mayhew and handled the agency for distributing the San Francisco newspapers.

He met and became an associate of Charles F. Foster, who had been the sheriff of Tehama County for two terms, and who was elected to the state legislature as senator in 1882 representing Tehama, Colusa and Glenn Counties.A contract was entered into between George Hoag, one of the original pioneer settlers, and Foster, for the purchase of 3107 acres adjacent to and east of Corning, at a price of $77,675.00 ($25 per acre). The original real estate sales firm was called Moore, Foster & Co., with officers at 634 Market Street, San Francisco. The "Moore" in the firm was Colonel O.E. Moore, who had formed a Chicago suburb named Maywood. The name Maywood was chosen for "The Maywood Colony." The partnership name was soon changed to Foster, Benchley & Woodson, then later to Foster, Treakle & Woodson, and lastly to Foster & Woodson

The partnership of Foster and Woodson broke up, and Woodson's brother-in-law, RICHARD FRIPP, arrived to take over some of Foster's duties and to work for Woodson in the Maywood Colony Office.
